NGK Ignition Cable Kit – RC-VW254 (Stock No. 7044)
This NGK ignition cable kit restores a clean, strong spark and reliable ignition performance. It is designed to reduce electrical interference and improve spark delivery, helping engines start better and run smoothly under load.
Built with high quality silicone and a spiral-wound core, the leads offer excellent heat resistance and long service life. The boots seal well against moisture and oil, helping prevent misfires.
Why it matters
– Better spark control for smoother idle and throttle response.
– Strong insulation to resist heat, oil and vibration.
– Stable resistance for consistent performance over time.
Always match the kit to your exact vehicle using the site’s vehicle lookup or the Vehicle Fitment tab.
Broad compatibility
Fits selected Volkswagen Group petrol engines that use a distributor-based ignition system. This typically includes popular VW and Audi 4-cylinder models from the 1990s era. Check exact fitment before purchase.
